Chapter 143 The show is finished!
Xia Linxing’s mission this time... is simple and difficult at the same time.
It is said to be simple because this mission is not like his previous missions, which require him to do it himself.
In the original novel, although "Xia Linxing" has been causing trouble for Shen Sibai, she still can't prevent Shen Sibai from entering the finals. Therefore, at such a critical moment before the finals, "Xia Linxing" will definitely not watch Shen Sibai debut smoothly.
Therefore, he found a way to contact the marketing accounts outside and began to fabricate negative information about Shen Sibai.
——It’s difficult…and that’s where the difficulty lies.
Let’s not talk about Xia Linxing… He doesn’t have a mobile phone (he has already handed it in). Even if Xia Linxing got the phone, he wouldn’t know how to contact the marketing account or how to fabricate negative information about Shen Sibai.
Well...if these are fabricated experiences, Xia Linxing has quite a lot of them.
Especially this black material, it must be able to affect Shen Sibai (cause a storm), but also must not affect Shen Sibai (not really bring bad luck to Shen Sibai).
So at the beginning, when Xia Linxing learned about this mission from System 999, he was a little desperate.
He felt that his brain... couldn't finish it.
Whenever he was asked to spread rumors about Shen Sibai among the trainees, Xia Linxing felt that he could still save the situation.
But a cell phone... he really didn't have one. He couldn't just go and borrow someone else's, right? That would be like blaming someone else...
Just when Xia Linxing was pulling his hair out in worry, System 999 just told him that his mission was completed.
Xia Linxing: “???”
Xia Linxing: “!!!”
When? What happened? How did it get done?!
Xia Linxing asked three questions in a row.
System 999 was also surprised when it received the backend message. It checked the process and exclaimed in delight, "Good boy! Someone kindly helped us complete it!"
I don't know who or which agency fabricated negative information about Shen Sibai, and it's spreading online, and it's getting quite a buzz...
Of course, according to the original task completion judgment, this task requires Xia Linxing to first contact an external marketing account, and then that marketing account will publish false rumors and black material to cause a certain amount of heat before the task is considered completed.
But it didn't know what was happening outside. When System 999 went online, it found a bloody scene outside.
System 999 roams in the ocean of the Internet, which is breathtaking to watch.
Oh my god! I just haven't been online for a while, how come there are so many negative rumors about the trainees out there!
Its good boy’s, Chen Sibai’s, Lu Zimo’s, Zhao Jian’s…it has everything!
System 999 was quite angry when it first saw the negative information about Xia Linxing, but as it continued reading, System 999 started to laugh.
If there was only negative news about Xia Linxing out there, System 999 would probably be furious by now. But if all the trainees, including Xia Linxing, had negative news, System 999 would suddenly calm down.
This shows that it's not the cubs' fault, but someone is jealous of their show! This is collective sniping!
In particular, each trainee released a lot of negative information about System 999, which System 999 didn't know whether it was true or false - this was also the reason why the mission was judged to be completed: because these negative information brought a lot of heat, which has exceeded the heat of the negative information released by "Xia Linxing" in the original work.
It is also because of reasons that are true or false, or because the water is muddy enough and everyone has negative information, which is equivalent to no one having any negative information, that these negative information did not bring any actual negative impact to Shen Sibai.
Therefore, both in terms of popularity and results, the task has been completed.
If Xia Linxing continues to operate according to the original work at this time, the "concentration" of Shen Sibai's negative information will definitely exceed the standard, which will affect the current excellent balance on the Internet and be judged by the main system as being unfavorable to the protagonist.
So... the mission was deemed accomplished.
After learning the truth, Xia Linxing: "Emmmm..."
Okay...just complete the mission, don't worry about how it is completed.
At least, he no longer has to find ways to contact external marketing accounts, nor does he have to rack his brains to think of how to discredit Chen Sibai.
Just when Xia Linxing was feeling happy, Xie Tinglan suddenly came over.
"The quarrel between you and Shen Sibai on the stairs was exposed online." Xie Tinglan told him.
Having already listened to System 999's explanation, Xia Linxing nodded, indicating that he understood. System 999 not only explained the negative information that had been exposed about him, but also enthusiastically shared with him the negative information, both true and false, about several other trainees. This made Xia Linxing very satisfied.
As for his own negative information… Xia Linxing didn't really care. This was because System 999 had already told him that in the original novel, "Xia Linxing" was also exposed at this point in the plot.
The person who broke the news was a (real) staff member. The "Xia Linxing" in the original novel was not like the Xia Linxing he is now, getting along very well with the staff. It could even be said that the current rumors about Xia Linxing being arrogant and looking down on others would be true if they were referring to the "Xia Linxing" in the original novel.
Therefore, in the original novel, many staff members were disgusted with Xia Linxing's arrogant and domineering behavior on the show. So before the finals, when they saw Shen Sibai being bullied by Xia Linxing again, they couldn't help it and secretly found an external marketing account to expose the incident. They also exposed the incident in which Xia Linxing tried to push Shen Sibai down the stairs, but fell down instead.
This caused a huge uproar.
The "Xia Linxing" in the original novel relied on cheating to stay in the show, and unlike Xia Linxing who practiced and prepared the show seriously, he had no ability and no attitude (although Xia Linxing's ability was not that good, but he had a serious attitude!), which had long caused great dissatisfaction among the audience.
However, "Xia Linxing" couldn't resist the fact that he bought a lot of water armies for himself. Every time passers-by or fans of other trainees expressed their dissatisfaction with "Xia Linxing", these water armies would rush up and criticize those people until they dared not speak anymore.
So when this news broke, the Internet was completely blown up:
A wealthy young man who didn't take the show seriously, squeezing out other trainees and taking their place, can still blame them for their wealth and ability to make it all the way to the finals. But bullying a trainee from an ordinary family, even trying to push her down the stairs... How can this be tolerated?!
This caused great resentment among the public, and "Xia Linxing" became notorious and was condemned by everyone. In order to calm the public's anger, the program team also persuaded "Xia Linxing" to withdraw at this time.
However, what System 999 didn't tell Xia Linxing was that the revelations made by "Xia Linxing" in the original novel were actually made by Shen Sibai in the original novel. After all, the relationship between Shen Sibai and "Xia Linxing" in the original novel was not as strangely close as the relationship between Shen Sibai and Xia Linxing in the present.
As for being able to become the protagonist of a novel, Shen Sibai himself is not a soft-hearted person who would allow himself to be bullied without any resistance.
He was just lying in wait, waiting for the fatal blow.
So as soon as he took action, "Xia Linxing" was directly kicked out of the show.
But there’s no need to tell its dear child about such “small” things, System 999 thought.
Anyway, its good cub is about to complete its mission without becoming a mortal enemy with Shen Sibai. After completing all the tasks, its good cub still has to continue living in this world. Maintaining a good relationship with the protagonist will also help his future life.
But now... the news was leaked just like in the original novel, but I don't know if it's because the water outside is too turbid, it didn't cause such a violent reaction as in the original novel. Except for a small number of unwavering black fans, most of the passers-by who were attracted in were just watching for fun.
I don’t know whether this is good or bad for its cute cub.
System 999 is worried.
Xie Tinglan looked at the silent Xia Linxing and thought that she was worried: "You don't have to worry too much..."
He comforted her, "You don't have to worry too much about what happens online..."
"People outside are just watching the fun, no one takes those things seriously."
Xia Linxing nodded obediently.
He knew that Xie Tinglan was talking about the time when "he" tried to push Shen Sibai down the stairs when he first entered the show, and he thought that Xie Tinglan was just saying this to comfort him.
But Xia Linxing was still very happy to receive this comfort.
Xie Tinglan, Xie Tinglan is a good person...
Xie Tinglan, who was a very nice person, continued, "Now you just need to focus on preparing for the finals..."
"Everything will be discussed after the debut night."
He stroked Xia Linxing's trembling little curly hair (Xia Linxing nodded), and said lightly: "When the time comes, we can talk about how you became a good boy after falling down the stairs..."
"Okay--" Xia Linxing paused as he was nodding his head.
Wh-what?
He looked up at Xie Tinglan in horror.
What do you mean by "becoming a good boy after falling down the stairs"?!
…
Amidst Xia Linxing's anxiety, the final of "Star Road to Departure" plus the debut night finally began recording.
The silver spotlights made the stage as bright as day, and the air became scorching hot due to the screams and enthusiasm of the audience.
The final performance has ended, and Xia Linxing is mingling among the other trainees, waiting for the final ranking to be announced.
Compared to other nervous trainees, Xia Linxing, who had already learned the answer from System 999, looked completely relaxed and just went through the motions.
As the names were read out one after another, the sounds amplified by the top-notch speakers hit every corner of the venue.
Accompanied by thunderous cheers, the trainees around Xia Linxing walked to the other side of the stage, the crystal chairs that symbolized debut and glory, under the envious gazes of other trainees.
"Third place—"
"Let us congratulate—"
“Shen Sibai!”
The huge cheers almost pierced the eardrums. Even Shen Sibai, who had always been calm and composed, showed surprise and joy on his face at this moment.
The cheers around him almost blew the roof off. When Shen Sibai stood up, he looked at Xia Linxing first.
Xia Linxing was clapping happily because she had waited for Shen Sibai's name to be called.
finally!
He finally waited for this moment!
The program recording was successfully completed, and his tasks (in the program crew) were also successfully completed. Shen Sibai successfully debuted with the same ranking as in the original work.
Although it may sound a bit rebellious, Xia Linxing always has a strange sense of satisfaction that "my son has grown up".
The soft halo illuminated Xia Linxing's truly happy face. Shen Sibai's heart, which had been beating violently, slowly calmed down when he saw the smile on Xia Linxing's face.
He took a deep breath and slowly walked onto the stage.
"Thank you..." Chen Sibai held the microphone, looked at the fluorescent lights under the stage, took a deep breath and said, "I want to thank every fan who voted for me and brought me to this position."
"Without you, I wouldn't be standing here."
"I would also like to thank the five mentors..."
After getting over the initial hurdle, Chen Sibai regained his previous composure and began to thank his mentor for his unreserved guidance, the program team for giving him a precious stage, and the other trainees for fighting side by side.
"at last……"
His eyes fell on Xia Linxing on the other side of the stage, "I want to thank my best friend..."
"Thank you for risking your own life to save me during the location shoot. Thank you for staying with me in the practice room every night until dawn..."
The spotlight followed Shen Sibai's gaze and fell on Xia Linxing. Seeing his face appear on the big screen, Xia Linxing lowered his head and scratched his face a little embarrassedly.
He felt a little embarrassed by Shen Sibai's praise.
The rescue during the outdoor scenes was real, but the companionship every late night was... a bit exaggerated.
Xia Linxing lowered his eyes feeling a little guilty.
The actual situation is: Xia Linxing's basic skills are too poor, and even Shen Sibai stayed up late to learn, but Xia Linxing didn't learn anything; plus, among all the trainees, Shen Sibai taught the most seriously and carefully, and Xia Linxing stayed behind every time... just to get in on the fun.
However, Xia Linxing still accepted Shen Sibai's kindness.
He knew why Shen Sibai said these words tonight—not only to thank him, but also to help him clarify the rumors outside before.
The previously clamorous incident of "him pushing Shen Sibai on the stairs" successfully made the outside world think that his relationship with Shen Sibai was just an act in front of the camera. That's why Shen Sibai chose this time to express his gratitude.
It is to dispel the rumors outside.
"...This road we've walked together won't end tonight!"
Shen Sibai finally finished his acceptance speech. Xia Linxing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly applauded to see Shen Sibai off the stage.
The speech was very touching, but also made him so embarrassed that he couldn't move.
Golden ribbons poured down like a rainstorm, and several new idols stood in front of the crystal chairs, receiving everyone's attention and blessings.
——After several months of recording, "Star Journey" was successfully completed!
